Anti-xylulokinase antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the XYLB gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 536 amino acid residues and a mass of 58.4 kDa. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 2 different isoforms for this protein. A member of the FGGY kinase protein family, it is known to be involved with carbohydrate metabolism and homeostasis and protein phosphorylation. Other names for this target antigen include D-xylulokinase, xylulokinase homolog (H. influenzae), and xylulose kinase. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is a widely used application for the xylulokinase antibodies listed below. In addition, Immunohistochemistry is also a common application.
